Construction Accident Attorneys
Construction workers have some of the most key jobs in the United States, but also, some of the most dangerous ones, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Even with all the safety rules and regulations established by OSHA, employment contracts, and safety equipment, construction accidents can still happen even to the most safety-conscious of workers as a result of another person’s negligence or unsafe working conditions.
Construction accidents are commonly caused by:
- Falling objects, such as building materials, site debris, scaffolding, tools, equipment, cranes, crane loads, ladders, and even other people
- Falls from heights, especially when safety guard rails and other protective equipment fail, are poorly maintained, or are improperly installed
- Dangerous and/or defective tools and equipment, such as improperly manufactured machinery that can malfunction and result in severe injuries
- Negligence in hiring, training, and supervising practices, such as hiring workers with inadequate experience, failure to properly monitor workers, and not giving proper training
- Lack of access to protective equipment, such as for the eyes, face, and respiratory system
- Inadequate safety compliance and hazard communication
- Motor vehicles, since many construction sites have significant traffic, and without properly marked and maintained paths, accidents can occur
Thus, construction accident claims are exceedingly common, and yet simultaneously, they devolve into very complex cases. Employers do not always pay construction accident claims freely, or fairly. With the wide range of construction accidents there are and how very common and serious they can be, it’s important to have an experienced attorney in your corner who knows the ins and outs of the legal system and provide you with strong representation in order to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
Know Your Rights In A Construction Accident
In many cases, if you have been victim to a construction accident, you’ll be limited to what workers’ compensation provides you for recovery from your losses. These workers’ compensation laws are meant to benefit both you and your employer through providing you with financial compensation while preventing you from suing your employer, in most cases. Workers’ compensation provides damages for losses such as medical bills and lost wages, but not for other losses like pain and suffering.
However, there are cases where you can still file a construction accident claim, depending on the state you are in and the circumstances of the accident. If you’ve been involved in a construction accident, there are several things you can do in order to support a potential claim, such as notifying your employer about the accident, seeking medical treatment, learning about workers’ compensation, and consulting with an attorney.
Construction accident litigation is very complex, and it takes an experienced attorney with the right knowledge to be able to navigate such cases and win. You may consider consulting with an attorney about your construction accident if your employer denied workers’ compensation in bad faith or didn’t have enough or any workers’ compensation coverage, your injury occurred because of the employer’s negligence or misconduct, or if the party responsible for the construction accident wasn’t the employer.

I had a great experience with LeBaron & Jensen P.C. They kept in contact with me throughout the entire process, and were extremely informative and explained anything I didn’t understand about the proceedings of the case. I would highly recommend LeBaron & Jensen to anyone seeking Legal representation. I was driving westbound on Highway 193 in Clearfield Utah, when I came to the intersection of 1000 East and Highway 193. I noticed that a firetruck was travelling east towards the intersection with its emergency lights on, all traffic around me, including myself, slowed to a stop to allow the firetruck an unimpeded path to travel. However, I noticed the Jeep behind me wasn’t slowing down. There wasn’t anything I could do to avoid the collision, so I just braced for impact. Although I was wearing my seatbelt, I still suffered many injuries to my neck, shoulders, back, and arms. About a month after the accident I finally sought medical help for my injuries. I underwent many years of treatment for my accident-related injuries, including a carpel tunnel surgery and 2 rhyzotomy procedures, x-rays, MRIs causing me to incur over $60,000 in medical expenses. I decided I should seek legal help with my case, as I knew there was no way I could pay my medical expenses on my own. The legal team at LeBaron & Jensen were exceptional. They were able to negotiate with my health insurance and medical providers, lowering costs where they could. When all my legal and medical fees were paid, I was left with over $79,000. This money will help me pay for the future treatment that I will have to receive to try and help alleviate my future pain and suffering. I’m grateful for LeBaron & Jensen P.C. and everyone there who helped with my case! I thank them every day for the patience and persistence it took to see this through to a beneficial end.

LeBaron & Jensen did a great job for me, kept me informed throughout the process, and helped make sure that I got the compensation I needed. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who is suffering after an accident like mine. I was driving eastbound on Highway 193, a four-lane highway in Layton, Utah. I came to a stop at the two-way intersection of Highway 193 and North Hills Drive. The other driver failed to yield to my right-of-way and proceeded southbound through the intersection, I wasn’t able to stop fast enough, and I T-boned the other vehicle at a high speed. The impact of the crash was so severe that it triggered my vehicle’s airbags. The severity of the crash caused many serious and extensive injuries to my neck, back, shoulders, and head. Thankfully, I was restrained by my seatbelt, which prevented any worse injuries. I had to receive treatment for over a year and a half following the accident, including surgery on one of my shoulders. I was faced with $76,000 in medical bills. I knew I needed help, so I contacted LeBaron & Jensen P.C. Their attorneys worked diligently and negotiated with my insurance providers. After paying all my medical and legal fees, I was still able to pocket $51,000 to compensate for the pain, and suffering I endured because of the accident.

In January of 2014, my husband was involved in a terrible accident. He was driving on highway 89 in Wellsville, UT, when another driver ran a stop sign and pulled out in front of him. He tried to swerve out of the way, but he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the other vehicle. The resulting impact was so severe that even though he was wearing a seatbelt, he was violently thrown around in the cab of his truck and, as a result, hit his head on the windshield. This caused many injuries to his shoulders, back, and neck. My husband also suffered massive bruising and internal damage, and that’s not even the full extent of the injuries he suffered. He had to receive extensive treatments, including several shoulder surgeries, to try and help alleviate the pain he suffered because of the accident. Even after he underwent all those treatments he was still left in immense pain, and to top it all off, he was diagnosed with cancer in July of 2016. He decided to put off treatment for his shoulders to try and focus on his cancer treatments. He passed away in October of 2017. LeBaron & Jensen were there fighting for us through it all. They were able to get a settlement that covered all of Robert’s accident-related medical bills and all the required legal fees and additional money for his pain and suffering as a result of the accident. I’m so grateful for LeBaron & Jensen and all their support for myself and my husband through the years.

- When I tried to get coverage from the other driver’s insurance, they denied it. They told me that they had canceled the policy only a few days before the accident. The attorneys at LeBaron & Jensen P.C. were able to force the other driver’s insurance to pay out her policy limits of $25k plus replacing my car. I even ended up with a little money to set aside, that was important because this accident left me permanently disabled. The LeBaron & Jensen team negotiated with my health insurance provider and my other health care providers to reduce the costs of my medical expenses. I am very thankful for their professional service, and hard work. I couldn’t have negotiated on my own, I needed every ounce of energy to recover.Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
